Robinhood Takes Equity Stakes in Crypto.com, OG.com
This signals a strategic pivot for Robinhood, leveraging its prediction market growth to secure infrastructure stakes rather than just trading exposure.

Watch whether this cross-ownership model becomes a template for other brokers seeking diversification amid crypto volatility.
